Supported 8-bit Architectures: PIC® Microcontrollers

With the PIC24FJ64GA004 16-bit microcontroller family, Microchip Technology extends its 16-bit portfolio by providing smaller and lower cost 28- and 44-pin packages with 16 to 64 Kbytes of Flash program memory and up to 8 Kbytes of RAM. The PIC24FJ64GA002 microcontroller provides more onboard memory than any other 28-pin packaged 16-bit microcontroller. The entire PIC24FJ64GA004 family allows the flexible use of all onboard peripherals, by enabling designers to map them to the pin they desire through the “Peripheral Pin Select” pin-mapping function.

Design engineers are adding functions in software to even the smallest microcontrollers, driving the demand for higher performance and larger memory in low pin count packages—to better address cost- and space-constrained applications. The PIC24FJ64GA004 family’s industry-leading memory densities, in packages as small as a 6×6 mm QFN, address these design concerns.

However, engineers still require a broad range of peripheral combinations within these low pin count packages. The PIC24FJ64GA004 family contains a similar peripheral set to the 100-pin PIC24FJ128GA family, in a package as small as 28 pins. Through Peripheral Pin Select, Microchip enables designers to use the available pins in the exact manner they like. This flexibility provides engineers with the option to use a smaller, more costeffective microcontroller.

The PIC24FJ64GA004 family is designed to meet a wide range of design engineering needs across a broad spectrum of industries.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• Two independent channels of I2C™, UART and SPI communications, enabling communications to a number of devices over multiple protocols, for easier system design.
• Designed for an easy transition to other members in the PIC24F family and for migration to other families in Microchip’s 16-bit portfolio, including the PIC24H and dsPIC33 families, through code compatibility.
